This is a great video, I tend to agree with it, it's the main reason I've decided not to get a smart phone

Hmmm... write a long, slightly strained poem about stepping away from technology or you'll have no life... then post it on YouTube.

Yeah, but in all fairness, I personally don't have a life.

I hate condescending crap like this, some guy learns how to write poetry and suddenly he becomes an expert because he can make words sound nice and meaningful when he puts them together.

Couldn't agree more Chewy. Except the bit about him learning to write poetry. I think he just used an online rhyming dictionary.

awww I liked it and I can see his points as well. My daughter for instance is 14, when i was her age i was out with my friends all the time, what they do now is all stay home and message eachother on their phones or snap chat, instagram whatever

[Livia]

Yeah, I see that. I guess it's different when you're 14.

I get what you mean Niamh, my sons are the same they very rarely go out with their mates, as they interact online or on playstation or Skype, on the upside I always know where they are!

Yeah true but I never thought I'd have to try and force my kids to go out with their friends My son is 10 and he had 2 friends over yesterday and they were upstairs playing his xbox, we live by a beach and there they are upstairs in a dark room, so I threw them out and they ended up having the best time building a fort on the beach, I couldn't get them to come in in the end

I mean I have enough distractions in my life as it is Arista, I don't want my phone telling me everytime I get an email or a notification on FB and I don't want to turn into someone who's head is stuck in their phone 24/7
